The station opened on 1 March 1862 by the Border Union Railway.

It was situated on the south side of an unnamed minor road.

The goods yard was composed of two sidings, one of them running a short distance behind the down platform.

On 27 March 1967 the station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt, although the suffix 'halt' never appeared on any tickets or signs or in any timetables.

The station was closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 6 January 1969.
